I made the drive from Houston to Norman in 6 hours last summer for the
Clarinet Symposium. And i think that even included part of the rush hour in
Dallas.

Actually, there wil be a number of us Houstonians in Norman. Several fellow
students from my school are all planning on going. So i know atleast 7
people plus James will be there, probably two others.

What i would give for gas to be that low here in Houston. In Dallas i heard
the average price was $1.69 last week from a friend of mine. Here in
Houston, prices range from $1.30-$1.60.

I was through Oklahoma back in March and y'all seem to have the lowest
prices than all the states I passed through during Spring break. no fair.
